The Shattered Prayer

I think I saw Miz Wilma today when I took my mother to the doctor to get her eye-patch removed. (She had cataract surgery). Some of you may remember Miz Wilma from the blog-post I wrote about her, though judging from the number of comments on that post, only Bas read it.

Today my mother asked me, “So how old are you going to be tomorrow?”

And I answered “Forty-somethingmumblemumble”.

And she began waxing nostalgic about the day they brought me home when I was adopted. I had colic for 6 months, and she ended up in the hospital from nervous exhaustion (how sentimental).

Now that we’re all using our shiny new FF3 browsers -. erm… we ARE all using our shiny new FF3 broswers aren’t we? - I figgered I’d share some of my favorite add-ons. I’ve done this before, but my list has changed. More of my extensions are geared toward work these days, so maybe some of these can help with your productivity.

As of 7:22am EST, Firefox 3 had over 7 million downloads. The fact that I’m up at 7:22 am to know that is a little unsettling. The fact that I even want to know that is downright disturbing.

I get excited over software. My life has really taken a wrong turn somewhere.

Knowing the readers of this blog, I’m thinking you haven’t even noticed your lab settings yet. In Gmail, go to your settings. You’ll see a new tab called “Labs”. Click on it to find some experimental features that Gmail has been working on. Some of them are very useful, while some of them… well. Lets just say “Old Snakey”.

The Baptists finally came by to help us clean up the damage done in the yard by the tornady. And yes, it was very nice of them. My nephew and niece were also here, mowing the lawn and helping pick up limbs and what-not.

I, on the other hand, was not doing any of those things. I was emailing back and forth to Mojo, and making a half-hearted attempt at work. Mojo just happened to be more interesting than work. Does flashing neon and hula dancers bring anything to mind? Heehee….

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but there are already multiple recipes for a margarita pound cake out on the net!
